Lyrics & meanings and key demographics

I was searching
You were on a mission
Then our hearts combined like
A neutron star collision

I have nothing left to lose
You took your time to choose
Then we told each other
With no trace of fear that...

Our love would be forever
And if we die
We die together
And lie, I said never
'Cause our love would be forever

The world is broken
Halo's fail to glisten
You try to make a difference
But no one wants to listen

Hail,
The preachers, fake and proud
Their doctrines will be cloud?
Then they'll dissipate
Like snowflakes in an ocean

Love is forever
And we'll die, we'll die together
And lie, I say never
'Cause our love could be forever

Now I've got nothing left to lose
You take your time to choose
I can tell you now without a trace of fear

That my love will be forever
and we'll die
we'll die together
Lie, I will never
'Cause our love will be forever

These lyrics link in extremely well with our styling and setting of our music video. It links in with the relationship of the man and woman in the video, as when he dies, she feels that she has died as well, as she has lost a part of her life. This links in greatly with the lyric 'And we'll die, we'll die together'.
Also, judging by the actually video for Muse's Neutron Star Collision, it is about war and fighting, which our video is also based around, just with a different take on which war. Our video is set in the 1940's, and is therefore set around World War II, whereas Muse's song was made for the film 'Twilight', a film based around vampires, and is therefore set in a mystery fictional war.

After talking to friends and family, and looking on Muse's fan website, it is obvious that the key demographic we should be aiming for in our music video should be 14-25 year old males, as these are the stereotypical demographics for Muse's music. We will be doing this by  using a more ballad type feel in our video, a slower and more grown up and mature version of the alternative rock/ punk narrative.
